Relive the magic of the Theatre Royal!

Earlier this year three volunteers met at the induction training to community media from nearfm. Having realised they all share the same passion for the Theatre Royal they formed a production team to highlight some memories and stories of the performers who have appeared on this famous stage, family and friends of people who worked there and more importantly Dubliner’s who were patrons.

Theatre Royal 50 is a 4 part documentary broadcast by NEAR fm, produced by Aine Clancy, Susan Tomelty and Conor Doyle.

Broadcast Dates:

Sat 30th June 12.30-1.30 pm – Thur 5th July 3.30-4.30pm
Thur 12th July 3.30-4.30pm – Thur 19th July 3.30-4.30pm
